Memories

This photo was taken on a camping trip we went on with friends in upstate NY.

Alex loved his four daughters - he was always singing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" from the movie GiGi in a fake French accent: I guess this was a serious moment for me!:

We knew each other in high school and we both went to the same church. He was friends with my older brother and would come over to our home all the time and hang out there. He dated all my friends and I took his photo with me away to college. Yes, I had a "crush" on him - I smile as I write the old-fashioned word.

When he came back from Viet Nam I was working for Eastman Kodak in New York City - I was a blond by then and when he came over to our house he finally noticed me - smile. We starting dating in October and he asked me to marry him in January and we were married in May.

We had a lot of really good times and good experiences and a lot of really really hard times but through it all I always knew that Alex loved me and only me and I will always treasure that knowledge.

My heart goes out to you at this poignant remembrance of your dear husband. How wonderful to have these memories, even though they could never make up for his presence in your life that is now missing. Blessings to you.

What beautiful memories and what a loving way to remember him. I enjoyed this so much... love seeing the pictures from your past and getting to know your husband and Kiki's dad just a little bit through your words.

Favorite Verse

"But blessed is the woman who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him. She will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
